POTD - Crape Myrtle


POTD - Crape Myrtle

This is by far one of my favorite Florida trees.  It's grown in warmer climates and it flowers for a month or so.  I love the tree lined sidewalks that are covered with the pink blossoms that have fallen off the trees.  It looks to me like a flower girl has just recently passed by sprinkling the blossoms all about.  There are many bloom colors, but I like these deep pink ones best.

Enjoy!
